Sooner or later, we all need copies of some kind of records to confirm or deny that a person "belongs to us," or, in some cases, to prove that they even existed. Below is a list of contacts in Keith County along with the records they have available, prices for copies, and procedures for requesting these records.

Additionally, you will find links to information about other records, both on state and national levels.

I am currently unable to personally assist you with obtaining copies or doing look-ups. If you are a Keith County resident, and would like to assist others by obtaining copies of records and/or doing record look-ups, please see the Help Wanted page, or e-mail me for more information.
